Douglas Booth

I loved 'Harry Potter' growing up. I'm dyslexic and a slow reader, but I could get through the thick ones in days!

I've spent a lot of my teenage years working on sets. I've missed out on more than just playing rugby, but I think I've managed to keep my feet on the ground and keep my friends around me.

I suppose 'Worried About the Boy' was a brave choice, but only in the sense that if I didn't get it right, my career would be over before it had begun.

One of the biggest things I used to struggle with was about things like going on holiday. Whereas all your friends can talk about something and plan something all year long, I know that I'm probably going to be away and I'm going to miss all of it. If a job comes up, you just can't be there.

I think Hollywood is interesting. As an actor, Hollywood would be a horrible place to go if you weren't actually invited.

If my feet ever left the ground, my mother would soon put them back down.

It's very important to hold on to what you want. In front of you is very easy fame and very easy money.

Communication is important.

Even to this day, when someone says something derogatory about Boy George, it still upsets and offends me. Part of me will always be quite attached to him.

I don't necessarily want to hear about my talent or my greatness as an actor.

Articles always end up being about my appearance. I had a conversation with Jude Law: he told me people's obsession with looks goes away after a while.

I get bored quite easily, so I like to keep my mind entertained by challenging myself.
